We pledge, if necessary, to join others in our communities, and engage in acts of nonviolent civil disobedience that could result in our arrest in order to send the message to FERC Commissioners that they must take the voices of impacted residents seriously and reject the absurdly-named "Constitution Pipeline", and subsequent gas infrastructure projects that unduly impact the health and well-being of our communities.
Why is this important?
It is becoming clear that FERC is an unelected and unaccountable agency, and the "public participation" in the permit proceedings are a sham. I am an intervenor in this project who lives in an area which would suffer large-scale regional impacts should this get built, against the wishes of the majority of people here. I have many friends and family who live in the gasfields of PA who have already suffered grave impacts, and development there would increase dramatically to supply this pipeline.
